all i see is marginalized groups in the low income band. it is crucial to look at poverty through the lens that the new census report has used because not being able to pay living expenses should account for a pretty good measure of poverty
I found it really interesting to see that the main cause of people falling into poverty was medical expenses. I think it has a lot to say about how important Obama Care can be in the future if we are able to have adequate insurance for all peoples and help cut this number down drastically.
In my eyes, for this country, the health industry doesn't work alone in turning the wheels of the vicious cycle. It goes hand in hand with the food industry. Poor people like all people need to eat food all the time, but the only food they can afford are those that are going to put them in serious health risks, and then they face the other monster. Slavery, really.
